Hydrogen got its name because hydro means water and gen means generator so it means water generator.

Hydrogen was discovered when early chemists/alchemists noticed the gas being formed when metals were put with acids. The person thought to have discoverd hydrogen was Henry Cavandish. He discoverd it around 1766.

Hydrogen is a gas that is most commonly found in our air. That means we breath it boys and girls.

Hydrogen has a melting point of -259.34°C or -434.81°F

and the boiling point is -252.87°C or -423.17°F

and the dinsity is 0.00008988 grams per cubic centimeter

also it's abundance in the earth’s crust is .14%

Some common uses for Hydrogen

1. To hydrogenate oils or fats to make margarine

2. In a petrochemical plant, hydrogen is used for hydrodealkylation, hydrodesulfurization, and hydrocracking ( is used to refine crude oil)

Some interesting facts about hydrogen are

• It is the most basic of all chemical compounds.
• Has no newtrons
• Hydrogen is estamated to make up 90% of all atoms
